Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is an uncommon infantile tumor. It has a female preponderance with malignant variants being more common in males. These usually manifest as palpable masses over the sacral region in infancy which may or may not be associated with neural tube defects. An initial radiological investigation is warranted to analyze the extent and components of the mass to guide an approach for surgical excision. We present a classic case of an SCT in a female infant born as a twin. This mass was evaluated radiologically by X-ray and ultrasound followed by histopathological correlation. This is a case of Altman Type-I lesion and was confirmed as a mature teratoma on histopathological examination.
骶尾部畸胎瘤(SCT)是一种罕见的婴儿肿瘤。它在女性中更为常见,而恶性变体在男性中更为常见。这些肿瘤通常在婴儿期表现为骶骨区域可触及的肿块,可能与神经管缺陷有关,也可能无关。初步的放射学检查对于分析肿块的范围和组成部分以指导手术切除方法是必要的。我们报告一例双胞胎女婴患骶尾部畸胎瘤的典型病例。通过X射线和超声对该肿块进行了放射学评估,随后进行了组织病理学关联分析。这是一例阿尔特曼I型病变,经组织病理学检查证实为成熟畸胎瘤。
